lyrics

WAX LIPS AND JUICE

and when the dust has cleared away
and all the clouds are back in place
i'll take you down to this one horse town
we'll raise another then we'll burn it down
and sit and watch the embers fade
then raise it up again

it's okay, it's alright
we can close our eyes tonight

and if the sun is left alone
with all the dirt you've ever known
we'll raise our glass and toast to everything
and watch in reverence as they dance and sing
we'll write it down and memorize their lines
and play them back again

it's okay, it's alright
we can close our eyes tonight

and if your memories start to fade
we'll carve in stone the words you said
and hand them down for all to know in time
and stitch together what was yours and mine
we'll drink another to forget the way
they broke you down again

it's okay, it's alright
we can close our eyes tonight
